Hey all. I’d like to open an official discussion regarding the upturning of the prior Hexbear party line on an :israel-cool: emote proper with the unambiguous Zionist flag.

I want to preface this by saying this is not in a ‘ceding the issue’ way. Over the past year I’ve been trying to engage in self-crit w/rt the chauvinism I’ve internalized growing up in a Liberal Zionist household, and my personal viewpoint on it did a 180 some months back, so I want to reopen this discussion proper in my personal capacities as Self-Appointed Emote Czar.

The reason it’s taken long enough beyond that is prior to July, I was essentially half-engaged with the site in order to finish out my degree. After that, it’s been mostly inertia of confirming with the admins and other /c/Judaism mods, as well as having to be rigorous about my job search personally giving me little free time to coordinate this.

I do not want to center myself in this conversation more than I inadvertently already have, so I will leave my own opinion on the issue as a comment rather than explaining further here.

The consensus we’ve roughly come to is to open up the discussion in an official manner for a day or so. After that, I’ll weigh the discussion in an entirely vibes-based manner (sorry Dean Norris enjoyers) and we’ll alter Hexbear party line on it accordingly.

    I don’t hate you, me and other admins have spoken up for you for years from the first zposter to, https://hexbear.net/u/zenzposter360 and https://hexbear.net/u/Spectre_of_Z_poster and https://hexbear.net/u/ZZ_SloppyTop

    I’m sorry you have experienced all of that, and this bad faith engagement/least charitable intrepretation is an exact symptom of the site culture that is vital to change.

    Are you innocent of this?

    Do you think that we want different material outcomes?

    For years people have complained that your messages speak the truth however the delivery is aggressive, you have received years of grace. Could you consider returning some to me as we try to find a solution here?

      Zenz poster was a lib who I rightfully drove off this site, he didn’t support the SMO or uphold his revolutionary duty. You keep getting all my alts wrong in this thread. It’s quite annoying how many copy cats I have and how I can’t actually tell you which specific ones actually are me - but I only have one active account at a time. I have to keep making new ones because I keep being driven off the site for this exact type of thing. Threats from moderators, being banned for pointing out their unfair practices. The vast majority of people shut up and put their head down or don’t notice.

      I notice and I speak up. I’m the reason you’re fixing this problem after all. I have to do it because nobody else will.

      I was once a normal user, I once would be happy to always be patient and talk in good faith. You’ve lost that with your years of putting up with me being harassed and threatened and gaslighting me about it. I don’t care about your rules anymore. You’ve jokerfied me. Do you understand that feeling? Of being corned and dogpiled so you become da joker baby? That’s what has happened here.
